Course Description

In these grant writing classes, you'll learn how to read federal grant application guidelines; determine what is required for a highly competitive written response; conduct statement of needs research, incorporate best practices in your program design, and complete the narrative and budget sections of a federal grant application.

This is a sample of how to write a sustainability statement. This sample also includes a statement on evaluation findings' dissemination. Often, grant funding agencies will query how your organization will share its evaluation findings with the public-at-large.

This section is written last using a copy/paste approach from your edited/proofed and completed grant application narrative. Always follow the funding agency guidelines. While you will write this last, it will usually be placed at the beginning of your grant application narrative.

Needs updating!

This course is almost 2 years old. The Grants.gov website has completely changed and the online application process used to require registration with CCR as the NOFA in this course says. But I've read that now it requires registration with SAM instead. I'm only part way through - what else has changed?

I enjoyed this course because it gave me a lot of resources and information to go to when I am writing my grants and I know that if I have any questions that come up I will know where to go to and know where to find the answers to my questions.

Good intro, lots of good material

Very helpful beginning and I will go back to it many times. The course is a little heavy on the attachments; I would have benefited from more lecture to accompany them. But Dr. Browning is terrific and Grant Writing for Dummies is one of my favorite books on grantwriting (all the Dummies books are written by experts who can really write!).
